The Belgian star, set to lead Chelsea’s attack in the FA Cup final against Manchester United on Saturday and a target for Real Madrid this summer, has still not signed the £300,000-a-week contract that has been offered to him.

But he has now said he will take his time before signing any new deal at Chelsea and wait until he sees which new players are brought into the club this summer, after a desperately disappointing Premier League campaign.

Hazard has two years left on his current deal but Chelsea, who are set to see coach Antonio Conte depart the club after the cup final, are desperate not to lose their star player.

“I’m waiting for new players next season,” said Hazard.

“I want good players because I want to win the Premier League next season. A lot of things, then we will see. It’s something big so I need to think of a lot of things.”
